Hypselodoris cf. carnea from Taiwan

Hi Bill,

Here is a picture of an animal which I collected in Taiwan in April 1983,
(North Coast - my no. BEPTA/14). I've never been able to name it, but I think it is identical to Clay Bryce's 'Hypselodoris carnea' from Western Australia (Forum: Feb 13th 1999).

Thanks Bernard,
With the information now available it is clearly not the South African H. carnea. Although it lacks the white lines, I would agree they are probably the same.
